Hi Folks, Does IB support continuous contracts so that Futures rollover can be handled automatically in charting software? I'm using the IB data feed with QuoteTracker. Thanks in advance.

Scalping to me is not letting a trade go against you. That is, you play the swing up or down and then get out, i.e. you don't hold through the retracements. For example, exiting a long trade as Ticks approach its upper limit before it starts heading down again. In scalping, I would expect to...

That's true of most contributions to TA these days. Few original contributions have been made to TA since Dow, Rhea, Hamilton, Wyckoff, etc. in the early 1900s. MP provides a nice graphic for looking at support/resistance and understanding auction market theory. Does anyone need it? No, many...

tfuad, Assuming that it's not a major project, I'll create the 2 indicators for you for Tradestation. I won't commit to the trade strategy so don't provide your trading secrets. :) PM me a clear, brief description of your indicators or post it here if you don't care about sharing the...

whitster, how do you determine if there is institutional capping from market internals? Thanks.

I disagree. In general, new traders focus on 1 or 2 markets, professional traders trade multiple markets. You should also consider opportunity risk, there may be other markets setting up for a great trade opportunity while your primary market may not be offering many opportunities or could...

Which is better to daytrade ZN or ZB and why? Looks like the volume on the ZN is almost 3x that of the ZB. Thanks in advance.

Using # of bars is one approach... Another approach is to identify the previous swing high/low which would not be constrained by the # of bars. Of course you would still need to define what is a swing high/low. For example, a swing high may be the highest bar of an upswing with the high of the...

I'm considering mounting my 3 LCD monitors on either an Ergotron DS100 Triple-Monitor Desk Stand seen here http://www.ergotron.com/ConsumerProducts/DeskMounts/tabid/55/ctl/Product/mid/386/PRDID/16/Default.aspx or on 3 Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arms as seen here...

Tick ($TICK) is a market internal that measures the net number of NYSE stocks trading on an uptick vs downtick at a given moment. In general, if the $TICK is increasing then stock prices are expected to move up too. If price does not move up with the Ticks then that may be signaling weakness...

In my opinion, most people pursue trading because of the money/wealth they hope to attain. Most people fail to trade profitably because money is their main motivation - reason for trading. To succeed at this difficult game, one needs to be driven by more than just the money. High performing...

EqtTrd, I wrote the Market Profile code myself. I'm an engineer so this part comes easy. :p I posted my Market Profile indicator at www.traderslaboratory.com. It generates the daily Market Profile, not the composite. Check it out.

Nice summary Maverick!

Here's the attachment...

Markets transition from Balance (bracketing) to Imbalance (Trending) and repeat this cycle over and over again. The ES is currently in a 7-day trading range as seen in the composite profile in the chart attached below. The ES closed at 1374.75 so the key reference areas to the upside are the...

You can use MP theory and still keep your trading simple. It just takes time to learn and assimilate it into your trading. One other thing I'd like to add is that the Cisco Futures website is disorganized and complicated (i.e., difficult to find info), IMO, but the MP content itself is not...

billp, My handle at www.traderslaboratory. com is "ant".
